"Great Lesson"
One day a father and his rich family
took his son to a trip to the country
with the firm purpose to show him
how poor people can be. They spent
a day and a night in the farm of a
very poor family.
When they got back from their trip
the father asked his son,
"How was the trip?"
"Very good Dad!"
"Did you see how poor people can
be?" the father asked.
"Yeah!"
"And what did you learn?"
The son answered, "I saw that we
have a dog at home, and they have
four. We have a pool that reaches
to the middle of the garden, they
have a creek that has no end. We
have imported lamps in the garden,
they have the stars. Our patio
reaches to the front yard, they have
a whole horizon."
When the little boy was finishing, his
father was speechless. His son
added, "Thanks Dad for showing me
how poor we are!"

Isn't it true that it all depends on the way
you look at things? If you have love,
friends, family, health, good humor and
a positive attitude towards life -- you've
got everything!
You can't buy any of these things, but
still you can have all the material
possessions you can imagine,
provisions for the future, etc., but if
you are poor of spirit, you have nothing!
